Thomas & Solomon LLP

Thomas & Solomon LLP is an employment law firm located at 693 East Avenue in Rochester, NY, operating exclusively on behalf of employees in workplace disputes. Founded in 2000 by J. Nelson Thomas and partners, the firm has built more than two decades of experience handling employment litigation and counsel across New York State. Thomas & Solomon focuses solely on the employee side of labor disputes, taking on cases against employers of all sizes, including large corporations. The firm holds an A+ rating with the Better Business Bureau.

The firm handles a broad range of employment law matters, including:

• Wage and hour violations, including unpaid overtime claims under the Fair Labor Standards Act (FLSA)
• Workplace discrimination based on race, sex, gender, age, religion, disability, color, and national origin
• Harassment and retaliation claims
• Whistleblower protections
• ERISA (Employee Retirement Income Security Act) disputes
• Fair Credit Reporting Act violations related to employment
• Employment contract review and negotiation
• Class action lawsuits on behalf of groups of employees

The firm represents clients in both individual cases and multi-plaintiff class actions, and offers case evaluation consultations.

Thomas & Solomon LLP has developed a practice centered on class action employment litigation, handling collective wage-and-hour cases alongside individual discrimination and retaliation claims. Several of the firm's attorneys have been recognized on the Super Lawyers and Rising Stars lists. The firm's employee-only focus distinguishes it from general practice firms that represent both employers and workers.

The firm's offices occupy the Strong-Todd House at 693 East Avenue, a mansion originally built in 1902 for Henry A. Strong, then president of Eastman Kodak. Designed by architects J. Foster Warner and Otis O. Crandall, the building sits within Rochester's East Avenue Historic District, a tree-lined corridor of late-nineteenth and early-twentieth-century estates between downtown and the village of Pittsford. The East Avenue neighborhood is home to the George Eastman Museum and several other cultural institutions. The office is easily accessible from Interstate 490 and is roughly a mile east of downtown Rochester.
